Chapter 828

Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Tokugawa Ieyasu had never doubted that the Great Ming people would go back on their word. The Great Ming's envoys or the Emperor's decrees had always been "one spit, one nail"—they did what they said.

As long as a treaty was reached, the Great Ming would definitely implement it resolutely, even if this treaty might be unfavorable to the Great Ming in the short term.

It was not just the Great Ming; the successive dynasties of the Central Plains seemed to have a kind of confidence—the confidence of keeping one's word.

The origin of this confidence was also very simple: as long as the time dimension was lengthened, unfavorable treaties would also become favorable to China because of firm execution.

For example, the Great Ming and Altan Khan concluded a peace treaty; in the short term, it seemed unfavorable to the Great Ming, but in the long term, Altan Khan's rule fell into crisis. For example, the Chanyuan Alliance between the Northern Song and the Liao.

Because the situation of the world changes with time, past unfavorable factors may also become favorable.

This is actually very normal. For the past several thousand years, China has been the leader within the visible territory. This transcendent status, which has spanned thousands of years, has established China's self-confidence. It is also because of this transcendent status that China has possessed more historical experience and lessons.

China can even use self-criticism as a tool to serve itself. Chinese scholar-officials call this the self-cultivation of "reflecting on oneself three times a day."

And now, the Great Ming has begun to accept criticism from others. The Great Ming Emperor will solicit the interest demands of all classes in the Great Ming and will also solicit the opinions of visitors such as the barbarian envoys. This is an extremely humble posture, but no matter how humble, it cannot cover up that arrogance from the inside out.

When self-criticism and criticism from others are combined, the Great Ming has possessed unprecedented vitality both internally and externally.

For example, this triangular trade of outward, middle, and return journeys would definitely have been regarded as a landmark event of the collapse of rites and music in the past. But today, the Great Ming scholar-officials keep their mouths shut about it—not observing, not caring, not discussing, pretending not to know—and can consider it non-existent.

The main energy of the scholar-officials is in dealing with the Emperor's reforms, trying their best to correct the Emperor's overly radical or conservative decrees, and they have no time to pay attention to these misfortunes.

And self-criticism and accepting criticism from others—these two seemingly ordinary skills—are skills that the Japanese will never, ever be able to learn.

Because once the Japanese begin self-criticism, they will fall into self-doubt and self-collapse; once they accept criticism from others, especially criticism from the Great Ming, they will fall into an identity crisis, which is the ultimate interrogation of "Who am I?"

This phenomenon was summarized by Li Yashi as: The Rome of the East has never disappeared, so much so that all the surrounding countries have fallen into an identity crisis by coincidence. They cannot reflect, nor can they accept criticism from the Great Ming; otherwise, all the consensus established by resisting the Great Ming will disintegrate.

Therefore, in the eyes of the Great Ming people, the Japanese are somewhat strange. Blind, arrogant,

conceited, and at the same time short-sighted, inferior, and headstrong—this looks extremely torn and contradictory, but the Japanese live in such a contradictory way.

Gao Qiyu, as an envoy, came to the Yingen Hall in Kyoto, Japan, and saw this contradiction, especially during the negotiation process. On one hand, the Japanese thought the outcome of the war had been decided and had to admit they were defeated; but on the other hand, the Japanese thought the factors of defeat were accidental, and if they did it again and made better decisions, they could win.

The fall of Nagato seemed to have plunged Japan into a state of complete madness.

Some people shouted "Jade Shattered," wanting to resist to the end, looking willing to offer everything for Japan, but when asked to go to the battlefield, they were unwilling to die;

Some kept calling for peace, wanting to slide to their knees completely, looking very rational, but when asked to sign the peace treaty, they were unwilling to bear the historical responsibility.

Gao Qiyu received Toyotomi Hideyoshi's first letter of surrender. In this letter, Toyotomi Hideyoshi allowed the Great Ming army to station troops at the mines under the name of protecting the Japanese mines. This was the biggest compromise in the letter of surrender.

Japan was still in the tail end of the Warring States period, having only achieved nominal unification. Local areas were still highly autonomous, and the major daimyo were still fighting among themselves. To ensure the stability of silver production, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, as the Shogun, invited the Great Ming army to station around the mines to protect production from being affected by Japan's civil war.

The profits from the mines still belonged to the local daimyo, not the Great Ming;

but the Great Ming had the power of priority purchase of mineral products and allowed the use of Baochao for payment.

The entire compromise was filled with self-deceiving logic; it was just deceiving oneself.

It seemed that as long as Japan ended the Warring States period, it could send the Great Ming army away; it seemed that as long as the silver was not directly transported to the Great Ming and there was a Baochao as an equivalent in the middle for exchange, the mineral products were still in the hands of Japan.

Japan called it "still under control"; the Great Ming called it "controllable collapse."

Gao Qiyu had no intention of letting Toyotomi Hideyoshi go; he demanded that the Japanese Emperor reside in the Great Ming and let Toyotomi Hideyoshi concede more benefits.

"Grand Herald, the Divine Fire Flying Crows have arrived." Li Chengli was very unwilling to talk to Gao Qiyu, feeling that talking too much to this scholar would make one go bad, but what needed to be said still had to be said.

General Qi Jiguang Jiguang had released 60,000 Divine Fire Flying Crows at once in Nagato City, directly breaking the Japanese morale to resist to the end. However, the Great Ming Emperor had always liked to "anticipate the enemy generously," so he sent another batch of Divine Fire Flying Crows to the Osaka Bay Garrison Company Commander's office, and then they were sent to the Yingen Hall outside Kyoto, Japan.

Gao Qiyu picked up his teacup, used the lid to push aside the foam, and asked with a smile, "How many were sent?"

"Thirty thousand," Li Chengli said calmly.

"Clang."

The teacup Gao Qiyu was holding fell to the ground, rolled around, and tea spilled all over the floor. He stood up quickly, cleaning the water stains on his body, and asked in surprise,

"How many Divine Fire Flying Crows?"

"Thirty thousand," Li Chengli said very firmly. "Sixty thousand were released in Nagato City. His Majesty sent a total of five types: Bright Fire, Poison Fire, Flying Fire, Divine Fire, and Fierce Fire, totaling 30,000 Divine Fire Flying Crows."

Gao Qiyu was silent for a moment. The Emperor did not understand military affairs, and his actions were really a bit heavy-handed. If these 30,000 Divine Fire Flying Crows were released together—one had to know that the Yingen Hall only had one hundred ballistae for releasing Divine Fire Flying Crows, and they were carried on side-box chariots.

Thirty thousand Divine Fire Flying Crows—even if the ballistae's tendons were snapped, they couldn't be released!

The release of the Divine Fire Flying Crows involved cocking the powerful crossbow, igniting the flying crow, and then releasing it. The ignition was ignited in the air at the same time, and under the combined action of elasticity and gunpowder, the flight distance reached 250 zhang.

The accuracy of this thing was really too poor, but once the quantity went up, the accuracy became irrelevant.

"If Toyotomi Hideyoshi refuses to surrender, then let's try it," Gao Qiyu did not hesitate much.

These court nobles and daimyo in Kyoto had not seen the power of the Great Ming's new firearms and still held a fluke mentality. If they insisted on resisting and refused to agree to the treaty, then they couldn't blame Gao Qiyu for being ruthless.

Gao Qiyu was waiting for Toyotomi Hideyoshi's response.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi sat in Oda Nobunaga's seat and realized why Oda Nobunaga had seemed so stupid at the time, actually wanting to kill Gao Qiyu and resist to the end, because the situation in Japan had already rotted to an unsolvable point.

After repeated weighing, Toyotomi Hideyoshi found that he was very likely to follow Oda Nobunaga's old path.

Fukushima Masanori walked hurriedly along the "nightingale floor" corridor. This floor was named because it would make a warbler-like chirping sound when stepped on; it was actually because of long-term disrepair, floor deformation, and the sound of nails rubbing against wood. He hurried into the Honmaru Palace, which had the regulations of a five-story castle tower.

"Shogun." Fukushima Masanori knelt on the ground, put his hands together to show respect, performed the formal sitting bow, and then straightened his body.

Fukushima Masanori was the head of the Seven Spears of Shizugatake. The Seven Spears of Shizugatake were the core of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's core, the seven bravest samurai when Toyotomi Hideyoshi fought the decisive battle against Shibata Katsuie at Shizugatake, and Fukushima Masanori was the head of the seven.

"The Tang envoy has sent the latest peace proposal." Fukushima Masanori handed the peace document in his hand to the attendant.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi opened it and looked at it for a long time, then said with a ferocious face, "This is simply bullying people too much! Agreeing to station troops at the mines is not enough; they actually demand that my King go to the Great Ming."

After careful consideration, Toyotomi Hideyoshi came up with a method that was not a method: let the Emperor come forward to sign the peace treaty on behalf of Japan, meaning all the evil and infamy would be borne by the Emperor, and it would be convenient to break the promise later.

During this time, the Emperor was like toilet paper; when you thought of him, you

used him, and when you were done, you threw him away.

The Shoguns had no respect for the Emperor.

But now, the Great Ming envoy had punctured Toyotomi Hideyoshi's beautiful dream. The demand for the Japanese King to go to the Great Ming, regardless of whether this clause could be achieved in the end, made it impossible for Toyotomi Hideyoshi to let the Emperor come out to be scolded.

As Shogun, Toyotomi Hideyoshi had to protect his Emperor, protect the Emperor's safety and reputation—whether sincere or not, at least nominally it was so. He was now the Shogun, and all his legal authority came from the Emperor's investiture and surname bestowal.

Fukushima Masanori put his hands together and said nothing, waiting for Toyotomi Hideyoshi to make a decision.

The current Shogun was in a very difficult position; on one hand, the Great Ming was aggressive, and on the other hand, Toyotomi Hideyoshi could absolutely not bear the infamy and guilt of the peace treaty.

"Gather the troops and follow me to cut the Tang envoy under the horse!" Toyotomi Hideyoshi stood up abruptly and said sternly, "The Great Ming is ruthless, so don't blame me for not talking about reason! 1,500 troops are stationed outside Kyoto, pressing so hard!"

Toyotomi Hideyoshi had fallen into Oda Nobunaga's trap. Oda Nobunaga had made the decision to kill Gao Qiyu and resist to the end, but the dilemma at that time had not been solved and had become even more difficult. Toyotomi Hideyoshi could only fight to the death.

"Yes, Shogun." Fukushima Masanori hesitated, bowed again, and chose to accompany his Shogun to try one more time.

Minister of Rites Shen Li once believed that the dilemmas in multiple dimensions such as geography, politics, military, economy, and culture would eventually push Japan's supreme ruler toward a decision to gamble on the nation's destiny—and not just today, but whenever there was an opportunity, the Japanese would gamble all the nation's destiny in a gambler's dilemma.

When Toyotomi Hideyoshi mobilized his troops, the Great Ming army in the Yingen Hall soon found out. In this Kyoto city, there were quite a few Great Ming scouts and maritime defense inspectors investigating. Moreover, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's troop mobilization made the divisions within Kyoto even more serious.

On the morning of the third day of the fifth month, as the distant morning bell rang from the five-story pagoda of To-ji Temple, the thin mist in the mountains quietly dissipated. It had been a bit dry these past few days—a good day for setting fires.

The sky was as clear as jade, the morning glow was gradually dyeing, and the morning light plated the ridgeline of the Eastern Mountains with a golden edge.

The green waves of the Kamo River rippled gently, reflecting the graceful figures of the weeping willows on both banks, as well as the figures of the samurai. Toyotomi Hideyoshi intended to rush straight to the Yingen Hall, kill the 1,500 soldiers at his doorstep, kill the Great Ming envoy, and force all the divisions in Kyoto to become unified.

The townhouses in the Rakuchu area were lined up one after another, the dark brown wooden lattice windows were half-open, and the light smoke of morning cooking rose from the roof ridges.

The townspeople walked hurriedly in straw sandals, the peddlers carrying poles shouted about Kyoto vegetables and Kiyomizu-yaki, complaining that business had been getting worse these past few days. The court nobles sitting in ox carts seemed very terrified; the sound of boiling clay pots came from behind the warm curtains of the teahouses, mixed with the fine sound of tea leaves being ground, but no one asked.

The clouds of war shrouded Kyoto. On this morning, one hundred ballistae were lined up, not aimed at the direction from which the samurai might attack, but aimed at Kyoto.

Kyoto originally had two: Eastern Ducheng Luoyang, Western Ducheng Chang'an. After Chang'an gradually declined, only Luoyang remained in Kyoto.

Gao Qiyu stood beside a row of ballistae, Huang Bin followed Gao Qiyu walking in this ballista formation. Gao Qiyu's steps were slow and firm. He was checking the ballistae and also thinking about whether or not to release the Divine Fire Flying Crows equipped on these ballistae.

He was not worried about the sin, because today all the Great Ming soldiers were wearing the chilling three-inch coiled dragon flag stickers.

The Emperor would pay for all the sins.

Gao Qiyu was a scholar and did not want to create so much killing, but if it were the Japanese, it immediately became reasonable.

The two checked all the ballistae, and Gao Qiyu nodded to Li Chengli.

Li Chengli drew his Qi family army saber and held it above his head. In the early summer wind, the blade reflected the golden red of the morning sun. The tooth flag behind him rolled in the wind, flapping loudly.

"Release!" Li Chengli swung his saber down.

The tooth flag turned, the sound of drums and horns began to become impassioned, the flags in the army began to wave, six people per ballista placed the flying crows onto the ballistae, and after the small flag waved, the soldiers ignited the fire, opened the safety, and released the Divine Fire Flying Crows.

The sound of the mechanism clicked, the crossbow string made a blasting sound, and one hundred flying crows, with fire flashing at the bottom, flew toward Kyoto.

After the flying crows took off, the fuse of the ignition burned out, and two burning gunpowder tubes were ignited at the bottom of the flying crow. In the air, they drew inconspicuous trails, and the whistling sound like a carrier pigeon resounded throughout the sky of Kyoto. This was designed by the doctors of the Academy of Sciences to judge the speed of the flying crow.

When the flying crow was ejected, the whistling was sharp and high-pitched. As the speed decreased, it became low and deep. After the ignition was ignited, it began to accelerate again, and the whistling became loud again. The two wings of the flying crow were slightly bent downward, which was to maintain the stability of the flying crow. At the tail of the flying crow, it was not the scattered tail feathers of the past, but a kind of delta wing to maintain the balance and center of gravity of the flying crow.

Three minutes later, the second round of one hundred flying crows took off, and the whistling in the air sounded like a majestic movement.

The third round, the fourth round... the flying crows were being launched non-stop.

The Japanese in Kyoto looked up at the sky, somewhat confused; this whistling came a bit suddenly.

General Qi Jiguang Jiguang actually didn't think much of the flying crow firearm at all. In his eyes, cannons and muskets were the proper firearms. He didn't like things like the flying crow that had only the appearance of power; it was mainly a bit of a waste of gunpowder, a bit like setting off fireworks.

A flying crow weighed nearly six and a half jin, most of which was gunpowder. Gunpowder

was really expensive, even in the Great Ming.

The biggest reason why the flying crow firearm was not liked by General Qi Jiguang Jiguang was that there was no accuracy to speak of. Even though the doctors of the Academy of Sciences had tried their best, the influence of the wind on it was too great. If the wind changed slightly, one wouldn't know where it had blown.

General Qi Jiguang Jiguang was right. After the ignition on both wings burned out, the flying crow began to drift with the wind. Those that flew high drifted further.

The luck of one flying crow was not very good; it flew a bit low, plunged onto the roof of a townhouse, bounced twice, and with a click, the spring at the tail of the abdomen pushed a small section of flint into the abdomen of the flying crow. This was a collision device. After the ignition burned out, it would burn the safety rope of the mechanism. With a slight collision, it would be activated.

The safety pins pulled out by the soldiers were iron pins, which were convenient for transport; what was burned by the ignition propellant was the rope safety.

The flint was pushed into the abdomen, sparks flew from the fire striker inside the abdomen, and the flying crow exploded with a boom.

"Boom!"

More than three jin of gunpowder exploded in the abdomen, as brilliant as the explosion of the largest firework. The white phosphorus in the interlayer was scattered by the explosion, drawing trails of smoke in the air and beginning to burn.

Several townhouses were ignited, the wind helped the fire, and the fire burned bigger and bigger.

The Divine Fire Flying Crow had too many shortcomings, such as instability. Some flying crows didn't even have time to land before the mechanism was activated in the air, setting off a big firework in the air. But this firework was not a celebration, but a funeral bell ringing for Kyoto, and the gunpowder fell into the city with the burning objects.

(Explosion scene, similar.)

When Toyotomi Hideyoshi's soldiers arrived at the Yingen Hall, the Great Ming soldiers released thousands of Divine Fire Flying Crows in all directions. The entire Japanese Kyoto was plunged into a sea of fire, smoke rolled, fire lit up the sky, and Japanese people were screaming in terror about "Heavenly Fire." If Toyotomi Hideyoshi didn't leave, if he didn't go to put out the fire, I fear the entire Kyoto would be reduced to ashes.

The Great Ming army never thought of retreating; they only wanted to perish together.

In fifteen minutes, the whistling of the Divine Fire Flying Crows began to sound again.

Li Chengli led three hundred trapped soldiers and stood in front of the Yingen Hall. Toyotomi Hideyoshi's army had arrived.

"Jade plate, jade plate, the jade plate hangs in the sky, illuminating the battle; four directions, four directions, the four directions are vast and clear of barbarians;"

A soldier tied his armor, tied his arm guards with a smile on his face, hammered them, and suddenly began to sing loudly. This was a war song created by His Highness Prince De of the Academy of Sciences, blending the Hongwu Correct Rhymes with the low, slow sound of drums.

"Jingguan, Jingguan, Jingguan stands tall, shaking the eight wildernesses; thousand tents, thousand tents, thousand tents shake with lamps, the dust is not yet over;"

The soldiers began to sing in unison, then used cloth to wrap the sabers in their hands, tied them to each other to prevent the sabers from becoming slippery due to blood during the battle, making it impossible to hack. In groups of three, they wore the three-inch coiled dragon flag stickers and checked that they wouldn't fall off.

"Dajiang, Dajiang, the Dajiang flows east, the flags are raised; on the ridge, on the ridge, travelers on the ridge step on the stars and frost;"

Death was never terrible; it was just like the Dajiang flowing east. People were destined to die when they were born. The soldiers fastened their helmets, and their voices became low. When the helmets were fastened, the entire battlefield became murderous.

Gao Qiyu, Huang Bin, Li Chengli, Ma Wenying, Yang Tingyong, Zhang Wenyuan, Yang Zhi, and others had never forgotten that their entry into the capital this time was dangerous. Just as Toyotomi Hideyoshi could not escape Oda Nobunaga's fate, the 1,500 people in the Yingen Hall had never escaped danger.

"Chang'an, Chang'an, one hundred thousand Japanese skulls built in the clouds; lone goose, lone goose, the lone goose carries bones, the pain breaks the intestines;"

"Kill!"

Ma Wenying had launched a mutiny in the Luomu Camp of Hangzhou Prefecture, later received the Emperor's special pardon, and was "exiled" to the Osaka Bay Garrison Company Commander's office to make amends for his crimes.

When Hu Zongxian organized the Nine Camps of Zhejiang, it was to avenge this blood feud one day, but Hu Zongxian did not wait for that day and instead died in the prison, leaving only the words: "The precious sword is buried in the unjust prison, the loyal soul circles the white clouds."

At that time, Ma Wenying was only fourteen years old. He never dared to forget for a moment that his family, his friends, and the children of his hometown had died under the butcher's knife of the Japanese pirates. He never dared to forget for a moment.

"Return to bury, return to bury, still see the mother mending the arrow wound; blade light, blade light, the horse spear picks the moon on the gate;"

Toyotomi Hideyoshi's Japanese pirates rushed up, and cannons and firearms began to roar, harvesting the lives of the Japanese pirates like cutting wheat. The samurai without armor fell row after row in front of the lead bullets like rain.

The Japanese samurai fell one after another, but the footsteps of the charge did not stop for a moment. The Japanese pirates rushed madly toward the front line, like a stormy sea, hitting the wall formed by the trapped camp.

The slaughter began.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi found something wrong. Indeed, the Great Ming army only had 1,500 people, and he had mobilized more than 30,000.

No matter how you put it, 30,000 against 1,500, the advantage was with him.

But these 1,500 people were as firm as the rocks on the seashore, blocking the endless charges. When the first wave of charges was blocked by the Great Ming army's firearms and cannons, Toyotomi Hideyoshi knew that he was probably going to miscalculate.

"Jade plate, jade plate, the jade plate is sometimes round and sometimes missing, hurting; moonlight, moonlight, the moonlight of the Han family is round as before."

After Toyotomi Hideyoshi's first wave of impact ended, the soldiers' melodious and slow war song sounded again. All the soldiers organized their armor and firearms in an orderly manner and cleaned up the remains of their comrades.

They remained in Japan's Kyoto forever. There were children of powerful families, children of rich families, and poor people.

Some scholar-officials said that war is the farmer's son killing the farmer's son, but Li Chengli knew very well that the Osaka Bay Garrison Company Commander's office had three hundred true children of rich families. The danger here was self-evident, but they still came here and now died here.

Under the overturned nest, there are no whole eggs.

30,000 people besieged 1,500 people. No matter what, they should have won. But three hours later, the first to collapse were Toyotomi Hideyoshi's samurai; no one dared to charge again.

The Great Ming army suffered heavy casualties, with more than 500 people dying in this battle. Four lines of defense had been broken, and the last line of defense, the ballista formation releasing the Divine Fire Flying Crows, was behind the soldiers.

But the Great Ming army was still in high spirits, the war song always sounded in the gaps, and the Japanese paid the lives of at least 5,000 samurai for this.

Ma Wenying, Yang Tingyong, and Zhang Wenyuan, the three commanders from the Luomu Camp in Zhejiang, died on the battlefield. They led the trapped camp, stood on the front line, and were also the first to fall in the torrent of the Japanese. Only Yang Zhi was still alive, but he was also seriously injured.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi retreated. He knew he couldn't win because morale was no longer usable.

The entire Kyoto had become an ocean of fire, smoke rolled, fire lit up the sky, and Japanese people were screaming in terror about "Heavenly Fire." If Toyotomi Hideyoshi didn't leave, if he didn't go to put out the fire, I fear the entire Kyoto would be reduced to ashes.

The Great Ming army never thought of retreating; they only wanted to perish together.

Gao Qiyu led the remaining Great Ming soldiers, collected the remains, and buried them hastily on the small dirt slope behind the Yingen Hall.

Standing in front of the 500 newly dug graves, Gao Qiyu looked at the setting sun on the horizon, looked at the wooden tombstones one by one, and said solemnly, "His Majesty sent us here to exchange the smallest price for the greatest benefits. The Great Ming will forever remember your sacrifice. Your sacrifice will not be in vain."

"Five thousand Japanese samurai and the Japanese Kyoto will be buried with you."

The fire in Kyoto lasted for three full days before it slowly went out. Three days later, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, surrounded by the Japanese King, the Emperor, came to the Yingen Hall to surrender.

Even killing Gao Qiyu had no meaning, because the people of Kyoto already clearly knew the terrifying power of the Great Ming's firearms. The consequence of killing the Great Ming envoy was to welcome the Great Ming's fury.

"I actually don't mind you killing me," Gao Qiyu sat in a high position and said, looking at Toyotomi Hideyoshi kneeling on the ground. "When I left, I left a farewell poem for His Majesty. If I died in Japan, the Great Ming would have sufficient reason to sweep across Japan."

"A collective always has various voices. My death would instead make these voices become consistent."

"It's a pity, you don't have the ability to kill me."

"Now, sign this treaty."

The contents of the treaty include:

The Great Ming army dispatches soldiers to station in various mining areas;

The Great Ming has the right to explore mines in Japan, and the ownership of the explored mineral deposits belongs to the Great Ming;
